Pat Sherwood is the author of the The Zone Chronicles, and one of HQ’s top trainers. Pat broke down the Zone diet with a basic description of how to calculate blocks, and when and how to increase the fat. He described how he eats while on the road training at Certs. He talked about the pros and cons of the Paleo Diet, and how “The Zone Chronicles” were born.

Pat explained his role at the Certs and what goes into putting them on every week. He answered questions about what people experience and hopefully come away with after attending a Cert. He also discussed his background, history with CrossFit, his training, and how he will be throwing his hat in the ring at the upcoming MidAtlantic Regional Qualifier.

I disagree with the comment about the Zone not being concerned with quality of food. I believe it was Mastering the Zone and maybe a few other books that Sears said that only 1/4th of your blocks in a meal should be unfavourable.

Zone does not say you can lose weight from balanced blocks of white bread & steak.

Not saying the Zone is be all end all. I actually follow a paleo/zone ish dietary plan.

I'm new to this Zone Diet thing. Is there any specific books i can get ahold of that could help me out with this diet? I am looking hard for info for nutrition and this Zone diet process is looking very good for me. thanks in advanced.
